Special Projects

Cultural Passport: The City of Philadelphia is steeped in culture and history, all the while offering a thriving environment for commerce. Because Drexel is located only minutes from Center City, we are able to fully utilize Philadelphia as a classroom in which to deepen our students' understanding of the world, their environment and themselves.

STAR Scholars: The STAR program is a special program for academically talented students that matches Drexel University undergraduates with research faculty. Developed by President Constantine Papadakis, and Joan McDonald, Dean of Enrollment Management, the STAR program was inspired by Drexel's philosophy of learning by doing, and by its history as a cooperative education institution.

Visiting Scholars: The Drexel Visiting Scholars Program is a dual enrollment program for students in the 10th - 12th grades that allows mature, high achieving high school students the opportunity to enroll in college classes for credit while completing high school.
